Welcome IrisMarie, not actually a TA myself but did lots of training in the school sector. I think like all job roles within care and education, a capacity to turn your hand to whatever the day brings, this may mean being multi-skilled in everything. Also to beable to work using own iniative, but also to respect how a teacher likes her/his class to run.

The most important skill i think you can possess is laughter and a sense of fun.

Good luck and enjoy i'm sure you will be fine. :o
